{"product_id":"little-book-of-shakespeare-on-love-oh-9781035419784","title":"Little Book of Shakespeare on Love","description":"No writer, before or since, has matched Shakespeare in terms of influence, critical acclaim or popular success. And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works! Packed full of timeless reflections on the subject - from the star-crossed devotions of Romeo and Juliet to the witty rhetoric in Much Ado About Nothing - and complemented by fascinating facts about Shakespeare and his works - this Little Book contains some of the most romantic and profound lines ever written in the English language.\n\"Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you,\nDid my heart fly at your service.\"\n Ferdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1\n\"Did my heart love till now?\nForswear it, sight!\nFor I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.\"\n Romeo - Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5\n\"Doubt that the stars are fire,\nDoubt that the sun doth move his aides,\nDoubt truth to be a liar,\nBut never doubt I love.\"\n Hamlet - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2\nNo-one has influenced the modern rom-com genre as much as Shakespeare. Perhaps the Bard's most influential romantic comedy is Much Ado About Nothing, the timeless tale of sworn enemies who become lovers. Countless pop-culture pairings owe a debt to the play, from Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to the leads in When Harry Met Sally and Something's Gotta Give.\nShakespeare's best-loved sonnet, \"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?\", touches on the themes of unattainable love and mortality. The poem is part of Shakespeare's \"Fair Youth\" sequence of sonnets, which many historians believe are actually about a young man.","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50083755491616,"sku":"9781035419784","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781035419784.jpg?v=1785390224","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/little-book-of-shakespeare-on-love-oh-9781035419784","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
